Funny green was just mentioned, I like it, but maybe something even brighter than above. As it stands now I will be saving for a custom paint job in 06. Just blew my 05 savings on a Firehawk hood and Kooks headers (to be installed). Only other bright green f-bod I've seen here is Greendragon's (think that's the screen name), I want mine all that color, or somewhere between that and that rally green you posted. Something like that old school muscle car green on some cars from the late 60s/early 70s. Figure I'm going to need about 5-7 grand to do it right, hopefully closer to 5

For a complete repaint including all jams and firewall is gonna run you close to $10K or more. I think Berger was charging like 10-12K for color changes on their cars. Usually I hate green but I've been thinking of redoing my car at some point with Jeep pearl green that was an 04-early 05 color only on Wranglers. It's a bit brighter than the original ralley green on the 60's Camaros.

I had my 3rd-gen F-bod painted several coats of Black, then had Magnetic Red from the C5 Vette laid into the clear coat. It's a VERY DARK redish/cherry. I call it Black Currant. I'll dig up some pix.

Berger TOTALLY blows the cars apart. They've had a couple in there that I've seen apart being painted. The whole front clip, doors, hatch, everything is removed so that all surfaces have the new color. They like to start with black cars so they can leave the engine compartment alone and it looks like the old muscle cars with a black engine bay.
